The problem of course is time critical care - unexpected maternity issues, and of course good old heart attacks and such for general medical. Again, we had real issues with the MIL getting hospital care. A good hospital but at a certain point - everything is an emergency.
I'm sure the local doctor on clinic handles emergencies, and probably because they have to handle so many different things, are pretty proficient at it.
What's the alternative, subsidize and staff specialist clinics that have doctors mostly sitting on their thumbs until something happens?
